Story -
Mahesh (Mahesh babu) has a finance company in the US. Kalavathy (Keerthi Suresh) takes a loan from mahesh without saying her background and she escapes to India without repaying the loan amount. Mahesh flies to India to get his money back from her father Rajendranath (Samuthirakani). When he comes to India, he takes even a bigger issue. What is that issue? Who is Rajendranath and how is he related? Did Mahesh solve the issue? That forms the rest of the story.
Thumbs Ups -
Mahesh babu's energy, comedy timing, charisma and fight scenes are a treat to watch for fans. He delivered a dazzling performance throughout the movie. His looks and dressing style are too good. It's his show. Keerthi Suresh is cute and she gave a good performance. The love track between the leads is well established and it is cute. The Comedy scenes were good and it will be more fun if it could have been better. Vennala Kishore and Samuthirakani performed well in their roles. Other supporting actors like Thanikella Bharani and Subba Raju are okay and performed within their limits. Penny song and kalavathy song are shot well and the audience will go high in theatres for those songs in the first half. Interval part is also good. Mahesha song in the second half is best. Mahesh's steps in that songs are good and they will give high for fans.
Thumbs Down -
Even though the story is good, it is the narration which is failed. Director parasuram took the safest route and he entirely depended on Mahesh babu's strength. The second half of the movie draws less interest from the general audience compared to the first half. Maybe if the director created more drama things could have been better. Some scenes in the second half replicate previous movies' scenes of Mahesh babu.
Technical Aspects -
Thaman's music is okay. It's not up to his level. The camera work by madhie is good. Production values are excellent. Editing is okay. Dialogues by parasuram are good. Director parasuram did an okay job. But he is successful in bringing the vintage and energetic Mahesh babu back.
Verdict -
Sarkaru vaari paata is an out and out commercial entertainer. It is completely Mahesh babu's show. It will be a good watch for all types of audiences. With this movie, Mahesh adds another hit to his bag.
Rating - 3/5
